Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Bruce, You should get yourself a steamer and steam fresh veggies. you won't be able to eat canned again.. I promos.Canned has so much salt and preservatives. Frozen steam well too. They are super easy to use and clean up. loves to use ours. We also grill chicken breasts on the grill. do a few extra to top salad with. yummmmy.We are having fresh black eyed peas, chicken breasts, salad and cornbread. It'll be ready in about 10 min.hurry.Love and Prayers, Peggyipf 6/04Worry looks around.Sorry looks back,Faith looks up.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Peggy I can't be there in 10 minutes...lol I do realized canned have salt. However, on the other side, I do not otherwise use any salt. I never salt the meat I grill or add it to anything. In fact, when I have company, I have to go in search of where I put it. As soon as I get off the prednisone this week and take a couple of days then I'm going to go on low carb pretty strong for a month at least. One month will get me half way to my ideal weight. Two would get me there. Of course my biggest thing is to avoid sweets. I am a chocoholic. But once I set my mind to it, I can do it. I am not a bread person so don't have a big problem there. > > > > > > i'm not on pred and haven't been. your consultant might be right > but > > my consultant expected them to contact me direct and was surprised > when > > they came back to her to pass this onto me. maybe rules change > > depending on the waiting list for evaluation or maybe they have > > recently spent time evaluating people who haven't got down to were > they > > were supposed to. i think you need to be less than 30 for actual > > listing too. > > > > my consultant just wanted to emphasise to me that everything else > is > > fine and that i shouldn't be too casual hanging about in case > things > > deteriorate. like imuran on my liver. she also pointed out that > cut > > off is 55 here in the uk and i'm 48. she wants me on the list > before > > i'm 50 as you get extra points. > > > > although only diagnosed since june 06 i have been feeling the > effects > > since about 2000 and i would say 98 was the last time i felt really > > well. this excess weight i feel is down to moving less in this > time, > > so i have no idea what i would be like if i had pred also. this > year, > > as well as trying to slim i have been trying to prepare for pred > days > > ie finding a way to eat all the time without consequences - which > > unfortunately is green leafy veg, salads or soup. i now make > killer > > spicy soups. > > > > to lighten things up i have to tell you the mess i made today. > because > > i've been using loads of cumin and coriander i went to the asian > store > > to buy it more cheaply than normal supermarkets. tonight i decided > to > > toast and grind these spices. i didn't have a clue how long and i > > didn't stop to find out from anywhere so i toasted and toasted > found > > out how to work my grinding attachment thingy and ground until i > was so > > fed up. i plonked it all over my lamb (not exactly powder) which > was > > lovely and made up some raiti (rachel allen's recipe from > uktvfood.com) > > and when we ate the raiti was sour. my spices were toasted too > long > > and had turned bitter. didn't matter for the lamb but didn't work > for > > the raiti. of course my smoke alarm was going throughout this and > the > > cat stayed in the garden. so when will i learn - if you dont know > > something - find out. > > > > may > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
